The Role

Bedrock, Inc., a California-based engineering firm specializing in tools and systems for grading, paving, site work, and underground utilities, is seeking a skilled Part-Time Heavy Equipment Operator to join our team. The ideal candidate will bring 8+ years of hands-on experience operating various heavy equipment on construction and engineering projects, with a strong understanding of the trade and a commitment to safety.

In this role, you will operate a range of heavy machinery, including dozers, excavators, compactors, rollers, track loaders, and water trucks, supporting large-scale projects for general contractors. You’ll also participate in safety meetings, assist with site tasks as needed, read plans and staking, and complete daily reports accurately.  This role will require a valid driver’s license with a clean DMV record (bring DMV printout to interview), reliable transportation to and from work, legal authorization to work, ability to pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol screening and Fluent in English.

Our roles are often flexible. If you don't fit all the criteria, or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF of NY) please apply anyway! We'd love to consider you. 

Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world

At Bedrock, we've assembled one of the most experienced autonomous technology teams in the industry, with deep expertise scaling breakthroughs across transportation, infrastructure, and enterprise software. Our leaders helped put the first self-driving cars on public roads at Waymo, scaled systems for Segment's $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue.

While others debate the future of AI, we're deploying it in the real world. Our systems are already installed on heavy machines across the country, learning on real construction sites and working to reshape the earth with survey-grade precision and exceptional safety. This isn't a simulation—it's autonomous intelligence working on billion-dollar infrastructure projects.

In just over a year, we've raised $80M, put our equipment into the field, and established partnerships with forward-thinking contractors who are integrating our technology into their operations. We're working quickly to close the gap between America's surging demand for housing, data centers, manufacturing hubs, and the construction industry's growing labor shortage.

Here, algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll collaborate with both construction veterans and experienced engineers, tackling problems where your work directly impacts how the physical world get built. If you're interested in applying cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented team—we'd love to have you join us.
